After the release of kernel 3.4, this is now the announcements of the
corresponding kvm-kmod-3.4. The package is available from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/3.4/kvm-kmod-3.4.tar.bz2/download

See [1] for further details on kvm-kmod.

Major KVM changes since kvm-kmod-3.3.6:
 - Timekeeping improvements
   (specifically: Don't mark TSC unstable due to S4 suspend)
 - Support for assigning host PCI devices that share interrupt lines
   (only usable with host kernels >= 3.3)
 - Fix privilege checks during task switches
 - SVM: Add support for AMD's OSVW feature in guests
 - x86: increase recommended max vcpus to 160
 - VMX: remove yield_on_hlt
 - various smaller fixes

kvm-kmod changes:
 - none

Note that I'm considering to stop distributing updated kernel headers
along with kvm-kmod with the next release. The only known users of this
feature, QEMU, stopped relying on it 2, soon 3, releases ago. I assume
people pulling in latest KVM modules via kvm-kmod will also regularly
update their QEMU version.
